The
Daily Reckoning's Eric Fry today denounces the folks who run the
Federal Reserve as "champions of dishonesty" for indulging the rigging
of the LIBOR market and for rigging many other markets. Fry doesn't
quite get around to including the gold market but at least he implies
that if the gold market isn't rigged by the Fed, it's the only market
that isn't. "Champions of Dishonesty" is the headline on his commentary
and it's posted at the Daily Reckoning here:

Harvard Magazine: You speak of a fundamental human-capital
paradox in the way American employers and workers interact with each other.

Thomas Kochan: American corporations often say human resources
are their most important asset. In our national discourse, everyone talks about
jobs. Yet as a society we somehow tolerate persistent high unemployment, 30
years of stagnating wages and growing wage inequality, two decades of declining
job satisfaction and loss of pension and retirement benefits, and continuous
challenges from the consequences of unemployment on family life. If we really
valued work and human resources, we would address these problems with the vigor
required to solve them.

HM: What causes this disconnection?

TK: The root cause is that we have become a financially driven
economy. The view of shareholder value as corporations’ primary objective has
dominated since the 1980s. That motivation—to get short-term shareholder
returns—then pushes to lower priority all the other things we used to think
about as a social contract: that wages and productivity should go together, that
there should be an alignment between the interest of American business and the
overall American economy and society. That creates a market failure:
it’s not in the interest of an individual firm to address all of the
consequences of unemployment and loss of high-quality jobs, but the business
community overall depends on high-quality jobs to produce the purchasing power
needed to sell their goods and services to the American market. Sixty percent of
U.S.-basedmultinational corporations’ revenue still comes from
the U.S. market. We’ve got to solve this market failure.

But I think there is also a deep institutional failure in the United
States. We have allowed the labor movement and the government and our
educational institutions—the coordinating glue that brought these different
interests together and provided some assistance in coordinating economic
activity—all to decline in effectiveness. Government is completely polarized and
almost impotent at the moment. Unions have declined to the point where they are
no longer able to discipline management or serve as a powerful and valued
partner with business to solve problems. And I’m concerned that our business
schools particularly have receded into the same myopic view of the economic
system where finance rules everything, so we aren’t training the next generation
of leaders to manage businesses in ways that work for both investors and
shareholders and for employees in the community. ...
